Our amazing Coastal and Environmental Fellow Lindsey built a model rack of humpback baleen and tested to see what shapes/sizes of #microplastics might be retained during filter feeding. Go Lindsey!! #oceanplastic #womeninscience

Kicked off an experiment yesterday to investigate short-term digestive behavior of Jonah crabs fed oysters inoculated with polyester microfibers!! Long couple days in the lab. Send snacks. #crabirrigationsystem #microplastics #plasticpollution #phdlife

For our upcoming mesocosm experiments, we're working on creating a more naturalistic food stock (in this case, whole oysters) containing controlled doses of spike plastics for crab exposure trials! #microplastics #plasticpollution #trophictransfer #jonahcrabs
